Chill Cymru: Fairytale Scenes at Candleston Castle & Woods, Bridgend - Slow TV Experience - ASMR

Candleston Castle is a 14th-century fortified manor house, in ruins since the 19th century. It is 0.75 miles (1.2 km) southwest of Merthyr Mawr, Glamorgan, Wales, now Bridgend County Borough and just 0.75 miles (1.2 km) northwest of Ogmore Castle, separated by the River Ogmore. Candleston's original long and narrow rectangular structure lay across the western end of a low narrow promontory, suggesting a defensive position. The castle is believed to be named after the Norman family of Cantilupe, thought to be its first feudal tenants. Today, the castle is an "ivy covered ruin" Wildfowl, butterflies, moths, autumn gentian, violets and orchids are seen in the area. The nearby Merthyr Mawr dunes are among northwestern Europe's "highest and most voluminous" sand dunes, and it is the "second highest mobile sand dune system in Europe."
